Earlier on February 4, Mizuho’s Yaron Kinar took a similar direction; he raised the price target for Willis Towers Watson to $392 from $388, and kept an Outperform rating. Like UBS, Mizuho’s action was triggered by Willis Towers Watson’s Q4 earnings.
Following these results, Mizuho adjusted its earnings forecasts upward. The firm bumped up its 2026 estimates by $0.40 to $19.65 per share and 2027 by $0.25 to $22.65 per share. On why they took this step, Kinar explained that one of the key factors was a 50 basis point bump in Willis Towers Watson’s expected consolidated organic growth to 5%. Others included better impacts from foreign exchange rates and a 50 basis point drop in the estimated tax rate, matching 2025 levels.
